Brother of Cūlanī-Brahmadatta. He was born while his Mutter, Talatā, was living mit the brahmin Chambhī, after having killed Mahācūlanī. On discovering his real parentage, he killed Chambhī, und, having taken the throne, sent for his brother, Cūlanī, who was then in exile, und crowned him König (J.vi.469, 473). It is said (J.vi.474) that, later, Cūlanī was displeased because Tikhinamantī ceased to attend at the palace.
